India’s most successful captain MS Dhoni's future in International Cricket remains a major topic to discuss among the cricket fraternities despite the whole world is confined to home due to outbreak of the deadly virus.
The Former Indian skipper ,Dhoni has not played international cricket since India's loss in the 2019 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand in July last year – which sparked rumors and the uncertainty over the veteran’s future in international while many believed he retired from the game.
Meanwhile,Mohammad Kaif backed Dhoni to play in the T20 World Cup 2020, saying that MS still has a lot of cricket left in him and he should represent India in T2O WC later this year in Australia.
Kaif said: “See, people may have eyes on Dhoni that how he is going to play in the IPL (Indian Premier League) and then there will be talks of the T20 World Cup but my view is different from others. I do not judge Dhoni based on his IPL form.”
He further added, “He is a great batsman and he is fit now. He wants to play IPL, do captaincy and is showing his availability. He has a winning mentality and knows how to win games under pressure. So, I think ruling him out will be unfair. See a lot of cricket is still left in Dhoni and when a player plays for this long, there are ups and downs in his career. It happens with every cricketer, not just Dhoni.”
Everyone was expecting MS Dhoni to win the ODI World Cup semi-final for India, but he was run out in the 49th over after scoring 50 runs and eventually, India failed to chase the 240-run target against New Zealand, but Mohammad Kaif still feels MS is a 'champion player'.
He explained, “The semifinal of the World Cup which we lost; everyone was expecting Dhoni to win it but it did not happen. So, from there on, people thought that Dhoni should not be there. But for me, Dhoni is a champion player. People should look at Dhoni's record in the last 10 to 15 years. See, the current form is important but at the same time his form was not that bad that you rule him out.”
